Touch And Go snowed in here and fluish...need a doctor.....smile

 

All In The Game

 

I've Heard It Said

 

I've Heard It Said

I've heard it said

So it must be so

That life is filled

With high and low

I've heard it said

Most of my days

That man is given

To sinful ways

And so he is

And so are we

But long from that

To be set free

I've heard it said

By pen and tongue

That men pursue

While we belong

To love, belonging

Is a female trait

Though by love, rejected

Is a female fate

There are those that object

And those lines, must reverse

That the female is foolish

And to love her, a curse

And it's true there are those

To this gender I'm born

That instead of the rose

In their hearts grow the thorn

But in my heart, grows love

Though it's withered by lack

And grown tired of giving

With no love given back

But I've heard it said

If you plant love like seed

That in Heaven you'll find

All that you'll ever need

And I believe that is true

Though in life there's a dearth

I just wish we could all find

Some of that love on Earth.

Figuring Things Out and the song of my childhood

WildFire
by Michael Martin Murphy

Figuring Things Out


I don't know why this song 
always touched something
deep inside my soul
It made me think of myself
and I always wondered who had written my story
Cause nobody knew me!
Listening to the song,
I saw myself riding that pony, WildFire
and
dying in the winter
like I'd been born 

I had my own pony named FireBird
who ran like the wind
and was colored bright red and white
He was my best friend, my only friend
And when I rode on his back
I believed I could fly

I was a lonely child
Talking to owls and animals
Like people
and thinking I was going to die
still a child
Because
I didn't want to live
to be an adult
If life as it was
Would continue to be
Life as it was

WildFire was the fantasy
and
FireBird was the real
but as for me
I've never known......
if I was real or not

born December 30th
like cousin Elvis said..
 "In Dixie Land one frosty morn"

I Never Lost You

 

MONDAY, J                   

              I Never Lost You

I never lost you

In the sea or sand

In the sky as clouds rolled by

Letting go my hand.

I never lost you

In the dusk or dawn

In the dark or daydream

Noticing you'd gone.

I never lost you

In a crowded place

In a dim lit restaurant

With shadows on your face.

I never lost you

On a moonlight swim

Watching waves take you away

Held prisoner at their whim.

I never lost you

On a busy street

Walking fast ahead of me

With others yet to meet.

I never lost you

In the shining snow

Clutching love tight to my heart

Not wanting to let go.

I never lost you

In sheets of dreamless sleep

Watching your back turned from me

With no love left to keep.

I never lost you

Your dark eyes gave no sign

And though your body sleeps by me still,

You were never mine.
